Ronaldo always gets hit with the pre Madonna stuff but very few ever comment on his desire to be the absolute best. To do what he’s done and to still do what he’s doing at his age is simply astonishing. Not just the playing at a high level but the training and dietary discipline that he has to maintain.

Nice, all these old men coming out to chastise my error. All I’ll say is Papa Don’t Preach
Madonna must be at least 25 years older than him too.
Quote from: brontebilly on November 05, 2022, 06:54:07 PMAll skills can be improved with hard work. Likes of Ronaldo couldn't head a ball when he arrived at Old Trafford but ended up probably the best in the world. I look at some of ours, likes of McGinn or Mings barely able to kick a ball with their right foot and wonder if worked on correcting those weaknesses hard enough. Ronaldo was only 18 when he pitched up at Man U though, and alongside his natural skill he's probably got the biggest will to win of any footballer in the last 20 years. John McGinn is 28 and enjoys a night out. There really is no comparison.

Ronaldo will be talked of for being the greatest Premier League player.I reckon he’d also figure in a top 20 world best, too

I don't think many people would be putting another 18 people ahead of Ronaldo tbh.

I think you're still right and I'd go with top 10 but I think it's reasonable and the broader, implied, point of him not being the sort of player you use as an example of what can be achieved with a bit of effort holds true.
